Bill overview
This bill requires health insurance plans in Arizona to provide full coverage for hearing aids and related services for children under eighteen years old, and those under twenty-one still in high school. Insurance companies must cover fitting and dispensing services, ear molds, and other necessary services provided by licensed healthcare professionals. The bill also allows insurers to offer additional hearing aid coverage options beyond the basic requirements. Finally, it clarifies the definition of ‘hearing aid’ to include various devices like cochlear implants and bone-conductive hearing aids.
